Win a King Blues album!

2009 has seen the King Blues score their biggest hit to date with “Save The World, Get The Girl”. They have played a sold out London show with Rise Against at The Roundhouse, grace the cover of KERRANG magazine and get confirmed for the Give It A Name festival in London this April (appearing with Enter Shikari). They even got their own billboard in Shoreditch, London, spray-painting an open letter to Gordon Brown upon it which generated much press interest. Their album Save The World, Get The Girl was critically lauded by Kerrang, Rock Sound and Big Cheese. Kerrang! called them ‘the most exciting live band in Britain’ and hailed the album as one of the year’s best.



The next single to be released will be “I Got Love” which will be available from 4th May 2009 via both download and physical format. To coincide with the single release, the band will be pairing up with uLive to do an extensive University and College tour throughout late April/May.

Win a signed Asher Roth CD!

New US hip-hop sensation, Asher Roth, whose “I Love College” is flying high on the US iTunes chart and who is being tipped for huge things this year by hip hop royalty Kanye West, Ludacris and Andre 3000, has his debut SRC /Universal single, “I Love College” and his eagerly awaited debut album “Asleep In The Bread Aisle” simultaneously released on April 20th via Island Records.

This 22 yr old suburban kid first came to attention last year when his mixtape The Greenhouse Effect aka The Greatest Mixtape Ever, became one of the most downloaded and buzzed about mixtapes of the year. Asher Roth quickly emerged as a breath of fresh air: a hip-hop anomaly grounded enough to take pride in his suburban roots but confident and talented enough to have already earned the respect of rap giants such as 50 Cent, Ludacris, Akon, and Andre 3000. Roth doesn’t talk about life on the streets but he will give astute and singular observations on everything from politics to partying. Here is a genuine student of hip-hop; an artist deftly able to weave complex rhymes and laugh out loud couplets.

We have a personally SIGNED copy of this CD from Asher himself up for grabs this week here at the skate park. To get your hands on this must have album answer the question below. You can find the answer at www.asherrothmusic.com and www.myspace.com/asherroth.

What does Asher Roth love so much right now that he is singing about it?

a) School
b) Work
c) College
